At the age of 35, Kevin Durant has defied the aging process in his 17th season in the NBA, as he has carried the Suns through injuries in the first couple of weeks of the season.

Durant is currently averaging just under 30 points per game, a performance that ranks him sixth in the NBA. What’s truly remarkable is the efficiency with which he achieves this feat.

He is one of only five players to maintain a field goal percentage of.520 or higher while also averaging over 29 points per game.

If Durant maintains this impressive pace throughout the season, he could secure a spot in the top 10 of the NBA’s all-time scoring category.
